Canon PowerShot G15
Canon's new PowerShot G15 replaces the popular G12 and is the second G-series model released this year (although the G1X's large sensor puts it in a different class). We're not sure why Canon skipped the intervening numbers but the latest iteration maintains the same basic design and handling...

As the newest member of Canon's G Series cameras, the Canon G15 does not disappoint. It is an all around excellent point and shoot for anyone ranging from amateurs to seasoned professionals. The 12.1-megapixel sensor paired with the Digic 5 image processor makes for a great combination.
Pros:
- Great image quality
- Professional level mode dial with lots of physical buttons
- Fast f1.8-f2.8 lens
- * button
- Solid build
Cons:
- Below average viewfinder
- Non-articulating screen will bother some
